Demi Lovato: Marmalade Lunch Lady


Back on the road to tend to his movie promotions, Taylor Lautner was hard at work in Mexico City, Mexico on Tuesday (August 30).

The "Twilight" heartthrob looked casual cool in a black buttondown with blue jeans as took to the Four Seasons Hotel for an "Abduction" photocall session.

Hitting theaters on September 23rd, the thriller is "centered on a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about his life after finding his baby photo on a missing persons website."

Co-starring Taylor's rumored lady, Lily Collins, Mr Lautner recently spoke with press about dealing with the fact that both Lily and his "Twilight" co-star Kristen Stewart have landed roles as Snow White in competing movies.

Of the situation, the 19-year-olf told, “I can root for both of them. They’re so different… Lily’s also going to be great, but in a completely different feel."

Still going strong with a long day of press duties, Ashley Tisdale was looking beautiful in blue as she arrived at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday (August 30).

The "Phineas & Ferb" beauty brought her gorgeousness to the popular shopping center while on-hand to unveil her "Got Milk?" ad for "Be Strong".

Having started off her day with a 5AM stop at KTLA, Miss Tisdale sat down for an interview on the west coast news program as she's doing her best to raise attention for the Be Strong campaign efforts.

As for the cause, The Stella Bertz Cheer For A Cure association's mission statement describes itself as "a national, community-based organization dedicated to raising funds in an effort to impact the lives of those who have been touched by cancer. As the nation’s largest grassroots network of cheerleaders, coaches, and supporting fans, we are striving to prevent cancer, save lives, and increase quality of life by funding research, education, advocacy, and service."

Settled into their temporary east coast digs, newlyweds Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries headed out for a night on the town in New York City on Tuesday (August 30).

The two lovebirds exited their posh hotel with Kris toting an open bottle in-hand, with the cute couple looking to be ready to party it up during their second night in the Big Apple.

Meanwhile, Kim and Kris are scheduled to attend a post-wedding party in their honor the following night - with the lavish affair being put on by celebrity wedding planner Colin Cowie and media mogul Jason Binn.

Of the plans, Mr Cowie said, “Hosting a party for Kim and Kris is an honor. I want to create a magical evening for the new couple to welcome them to New York.”

With singer/songwriter Troy Curtis to provide the entertainment, the bash will be held at Bowery hotspot Capitale.

After hours of getting ready for her time in front of the cameras, AnnaLynne McCord exited her trailer to shoot a magic show scene on the set of "90210" in Redondo Beach on Tuesday (August 30).

Looking quite glamorous, the Naomi Clark cutie cuddled with a rabbit while being hoisted into the air on a giant ring as the film crew captured all of the action.

The day's efforts are all part of the compilation of material for the upcoming fourth season of the hit CW show.

With new episodes quickly approaching, the West Beverly gang is back in action when "90210" premieres on Tuesday, September 13 at 8PM.

Diligently keeping up on her pregnancy fitness, Hilary Duff stepped out for a piloxing class in Toluca Lake, California this afternoon (August 30).

The casually dressed expecting actress smiled as she passed by the always-present paparazzi, tweeting after wrapping up her sweat session, "Just finished Pilates and going home to pack for brazil! Can't wait for my trip!"

The sighting comes as Miss Duff is also awaiting the nearing release of her movie "Stay Cool" - which was filmed in 2009 but is just now set for a September 16, 2011 theatrical release in the United States.

With the trailer available above, the Michael Polish directed romantic comedy is about "an author who returns to his hometown to deliver a commencement address to a class of graduating high school students while having to deal with his feelings for an old flame as well as the advances of a student who has the hots for him."

It came as quite a shock when the news of their breakup went public, and now one report claims that Minka Kelly's skyrocketing career is to blame for the rift between her and ex Derek Jeter.

According to E! Online, a source close to the "Charlie's Angels" actress cites Minka's recent success for putting too much of the spotlight on the pair, as the insider explained, "They kept their relationship very, very quiet—there are no rumors of cheating, nothing. And Minka is handling this the way she handles everything, she's a down-to-earth, real person, a sweetheart, and this took her by surprise."

The source added, "This is Derek's doing for the most part. If you look back at his relationships, as some of the girls started to rise in fame, that's when they broke up. Vanessa Minnillo, Lara Dutta, they all start out with sexy photo shoots and then all of a sudden they blow up and it starts going awry. He has a history of it, and he's just repeating it with Minka."

Looking to have been the final straw, the pitfalls of stardom seemed to lay too heavy of a burden on the twosome, as the insider told, "There's a lot of pressure on both of them right now. He's the Yankees captain, everything lies on his shoulders. Minka's feeling a lot of pressure with Charlie's Angels. As both started to feel the pressure of their jobs, the relationship just came second."

She’s definitely coming into her own as a superstar, and Kendall Jenner shines brightly in a newly-released photo shoot.

In one of the pictures posted on KendallandKylie.com, the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” babe looks simply stunning in a sparkly silver gown and curly coif.

Jenner also showed off her posing abilities in an array of new formal dress getups from designer Sherri Hill’s latest collection.

Kendall blogged, "I had the most amazing photo shoot this weekend. We shot over two days and I got to wear the most gorgeous prom dresses and work with a really great team."

Not having the best of luck on the roadways, Justin Bieber got tied up in a bang-up in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday afternoon (August 30).

The "Never Say Never" star was cruising around town during which time a Honda bumped into the sporty Ferrari he happened to be driving.

Reports tell that the expensive ride - which isn't owned by Bieber - received barely any damage, though police were called at the recommendation of one of Justin's people.

When officers arrived to the scene, they concluded that there was no reason to write up a report - with both parties involved driving away to carry on with the day.

She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!

Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.

Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

Venturing out for a relaxing midday meal, Demi Lovato was looking ever-so-stylish as she joined a gal pal for lunch in Sherman Oaks, CA on Tuesday afternoon (August 30).

Clad in a pea green jacket overtop a cute little black dress, the "Skyscraper" singer toted a purse with a raccoon tail hanging from the side as she and her lady friend took to Marmalade Cafe for a bite to eat .

After finishing up their chowdown session, the ladies headed to Iguana's Vintage clothing to do a little shopping before popping into Menchies Yogurt and then hitting a local dance studio.

The outing comes as Miss Lovato has been hot on the comeback trail after spending the earlier part of the year getting help for personal issues.

As for the changes she's made in her life, Demi recently dished to E!, "I surround myself with people that are beneficial in my recovery and my recovery is still a daily battle and I definitely hang out with people that support me in making the right decisions."

Clearly making all the right moves, the 19-year-old added, "I'm a happier and healthier person today because of the choices I've made."
